Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from CAA Real Property Services, Inc..

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.
After all, a home is only worth what another person is going to pay.

Selling on your own?

More and more South Carolina homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to take an objective look at your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining once you have a potential buyer

Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out

Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing

Help decrease the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed.
So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have originally banked.
Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
